Mona Lisa
[New York] : The Criterion Collection, [2021]
Format: Blu-ray Disc
Description: 1 videodisc (104 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in.
The brilliant breakthrough film by writer-director Neil Jordan journeys into the dark heart of the London underworld to weave a gripping, noir-infused love story. Bob Hoskins received an Oscar nomination for his touchingly vulnerable, not-so-tough-guy portrayal of George, recently released from prison and hired by a sinister mob boss to chauffeur call girl Simone between high-paying clients. George's fascination with the elegant, enigmatic Simone leads him on a dangerous quest through the city's underbelly, where love is a weakness to be exploited and betrayed. Jordan's colorful dialogue and eye for evocatively surreal details lend a dreamlike sheen to an unconventionally romantic tale of damaged people searching for tenderness in an unforgiving world.
